What kind of dance is Zumba?
Zumba is a fitness dance.

Zumba is an internationally popular fitness course. This form of fitness combines the rhythms and steps of various South American dances, so it has a distinct sense of rhythm and is a sport suitable for all ages.

Zumba dance is a healthy and fashionable fitness course, which combines music with dynamic and easy-to-learn movements and intermittent aerobic exercise. Zumba is a fitness method evolved from dance, which combines samba, cha-cha, salsa, reggae, flamenco and tango.

The word "Zumba" comes from Colombian slang, which means "fast movement". A 60-minute Zumba fitness class is divided into several stages with different rhythm intensity, and even people without any dance foundation can enjoy relaxation and fun.

One day more than ten years ago, the famous Colombian fitness coach Beto Perez walked into the gym and prepared for class. He suddenly realized that he had forgotten to bring fitness music.

In desperation, Perez grabbed several tapes from the car, all of which were very traditional Latin music and dance music. In class, Perez crustily skin of head improvises his movements according to the music beat. Unexpectedly, this rescue made Zumba the most popular sport in Perez Gym.
